At Least We LOOK Impressive …

There’s a bit of an issue with STAR WARS Battlefront‘s DLC (the ones you need a season pass or pay separately for).  The new one, Outer Rim, came with two new heroes, at least one new game style (that’s not yet available on the other maps), and some additional new maps.
